This template is used to nominate terms for the Foreign Word of the Day. To nominate a new term, add the following on a blank line, substituting the language name or code and the term that you want to nominate:

* {{fwotd-nom|(language name/code)|(term)}} ~~~~

So for example, to nominate the Italian word autostrada, you would type either of the following:

* {{fwotd-nom|it|autostrada}} ~~~~
* {{fwotd-nom|Italian|autostrada}} ~~~~

If a word has more than one part of speech, then you can specify which one you want to nominate by adding pos=:

* {{fwotd-nom|nl|uit|pos=adjective}} ~~~~
